Benefits of technology

[0029]Another object of the present invention is to provide an eDP system in which a circuit to recover a stream clock in response to a PSR mode is inexpensive and simply implemented in a sink device.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is actually difficult to fabricate the internal oscillator having no difference in frequency between chips.
The oscillator using an L-C tank has a disadvantage in that it has a large chip size.
Although the clock of the internal oscillator is adjusted by the trimming circuit, there is a limit to the resolution of the trimming circuit.
Therefore, it is difficult for the sink device to recover a stream clock having the same frequency as the link symbol clock LS_CLK.
Furthermore, an external oscillator such as a crystal oscillator has a constant frequency, but is expensive.

Embodiment Construction

[0039]Reference will now be made in greater detail to a preferred embodiment of the invention, an example of which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numerals will be used throughout the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.

[0040]Referring to FIG. 1, an embedded DisplayPort (eDP) system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a source device 10 and a sink device 12.

[0041]The source device 10 may have a variety of image sources to provide an image to display, and include a frame buffer 20, a frame buffer controller 22, and a transmitter 24.

[0042]The frame buffer 20 is a storing place to store an image to transmit in the unit of frame. The frame buffer controller 22 is configured to control an operation of storing an image in the frame buffer 20 in the unit of frame and an operation of outputting the image stored in the frame buffer 20 to the transmitter 24. The transmitter 24 is configured...

Abstract

Provided are an embedded DisplayPort (eDP) system and a method for controlling a panel self refresh mode. The eDP system enters a panel self refresh (PSR) mode when an image to display is static in a general mode, and a sink device recovers a stream clock for displaying a static image in the PSR mode.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an embedded DisplayPort system, and more particularly, to an embedded DisplayPort system capable of implementing a panel self refresh mode and a method for controlling a panel self refresh mode.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]According to the recent development trend of display panels, a connection between an LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) signal and a timing controller has been replaced with an embedded DisplayPort.[0005]The VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) has suggested the standards of an embedded DisplayPort in a flat panel television on May 10, 2010, and the VESA Embedded DisplayPort Standard Version 1.3 has been published.[0006]The VESA Embedded DisplayPort Standard Version 1.3 has proposed panel self refresh technology, and the panel self refresh (hereinafter, referred to as “PSR”) technology proposes a method for reducing system-level power c...
